Terry Francona is interviewing for the Indians' managerial job Friday.

Francona, who is currently an analyst at ESPN, worked as an adviser in Cleveland's front office in 2001 and is interested in returning to the organization. The Indians interviewed Sandy Alomar Jr. Thursday and could make a choice between the two as early as next week. Nick Camino of WTAM 1100 in Cleveland reported earlier this week that Francona is viewed as the favorite.
